Kids Can Cook: 5-Day Series

Immerse your kids in five days of hands-on fun. Each day, kids will put on an apron and get cooking, making foods they love and making new friends too. Our menu is all-new for 2019, and our experienced instructors can’t wait to get young chefs rolling their own pasta dough, baking their own cupcakes, brûléeing banana splits and more unforgettable activities. The best part—they’ll get to eat everything they make! Plus, in our final class, kids get a chance to show off all the skills they’ve learned with a friendly Mystery Box team competition. Designed for ages 8-12, our all-new summer series will boost your child’s kitchen confidence, all while having fun trying something new.

Classes run about two hours each and last for five consecutive days. Young chefs will enjoy generous samples of each delicious dish and take home a packet of recipes and a Sur La Table apron. Share your love of cooking and boost your child’s confidence in the kitchen with a culinary experience they’ll never forget.
